<h1>AJAX Control Toolkit &mdash; April 2011 Release</h1> 
 
<p> 
This release of the Ajax Control Toolkit includes several bug fixes to improve the compatibility of the Ajax Control Toolkit with
Internet Explorer 9. This release also contains enhancements to the following two controls:
</p> 

<ul>
    <li>
    <p>
    <b>RoundedCorners</b> &mdash; The RoundedCorners extender has been enhanced to take advantage
    of the CSS 3 border-radius attribute when a browser supports this attribute. For example, Internet
    Explorer 9 supports the border-radius attribute.  
    </p>
    <p>
    The RoundedCorners extender will use the -moz-border-radius attribute in the case of 
    Mozilla Firefox and the -webkit-border-radius in the case of Apple Safari and older
    versions of Google Chrome.
    </p>
    <p>
    Finally, in the case of older browsers such as Internet Explorer 6, the RoundedCorners
    extender will fall back to simulating rounded corners by generating multiple DIV elements
    in the page.
    </p>
    </li>
    <li>
    <p>
    <b>DropShadow</b> &mdash; The DropShadow extender has been enhanced to take advantage of
    CSS 3 when a browser supports CSS 3. For example, Internet Explorer 9 will use the
    CSS 3 box-shadow attribute.
    </p>
    <p>
    Mozilla Firefox will use the -moz-box-shadow attribute. Apple Safari and older versions
    of Google Chrome will use the -webkit-box-shadow attribute.
    </p>
    <p>
    Finally, really old browsers such as Internet Explorer 6, will simulate a drop shadow by
    injecting an additional DIV element into the page dynamically. 
    </p>
    </li>

</ul>
